NCT ID NCT06893315

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, a type of light treatment, can reduce pain and improve healing for women who had perineal tears or cuts during vaginal birth. 183 women were offered PBM in addition to standard care. Researchers compared pain scores and healing in those who accepted PBM versus those who declined. The goal was to see if adding light therapy helps more than standard treatments alone.
